one item that is needed to support virtualization is the ability to define
multiple servers running on one piece of hardware (with things like
software versions, IP addresses, etc attached to the virtual server
instead of the hardware that it is running on)

even with only one server on a given piece of hardware (the
non-virtualized case), supporting this also makes it much easier to deal
with swapping out a piece of hardware that breaks as you don't have to
re-enter all the software and IP info, just say that server X is on
hardware Z instead of on hardware Y (you will have to record the movement
of the serial number, and the change in the connections)

I don't see anything in racktables to support this easily, have you guys
thought about doing something like this.
